28-9. A Question of Ethics — The IDDR Approach and
Immigration Law. Split Rail Fence Company sells
and installs fencing materials in Colorado. U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sent Split
Rail a list of the company’s employees whose documentation
did not satisfy the Form 1-9 employment eligibility verification
requirements. The list included long-term workers who had
been involved in company activities, parties, and picnics. They
had bank accounts, driver’s licenses, cars, homes, and mort-
gages. At Split Rail’s request, the employees orally verified that
they were eligible to work in the United States. Unwilling to
accept the oral verifications, ICE filed a complaint against Split
Rail for its continued employment of the individuals. (Split Rail
Fence Co. v. United States, 852 F.3d 1228 (10th Cir. 2017]] (See
Immigration Law.)
